Contacted the guest house based on excellent photos of rooms on website and we were really pleased at the high standard and very reasonable rates - we've paid a lot more for a lot less in the past! Very relaxed and friendly welcome (met by Leon who was happy to store bike safely). Contrary to another reviewer i do like... more

As bed and breakfast go this is one of the best quality I have ever stayed at. The room was excellent and you could not ask for more. Tea, coffee, biscuits and chocolates! There were two bottle of water in a small fridge and you can ask for fresh milk. The bed was clean and comfy. The room was a... more

Had a fraught few days in Penrith prior to our daughter's wedding. Brooklands was fantastic and Leon was unbelievably supportive in my hour(s) of need. Looking forward to going back and just enjoying the local area. more

Stayed here earlier this week as part of my cross-country bike ride (Coast-2-Coast) and can thoroughly recommend Brooklands Guest House in Penrith to anyone looking to stay in this area.

The rooms are pristine clean, decorated with close attention to detail and good quality fittings and... more

Extremely helpful, gave directions when we got lost and recommended nice local pub. Place is spotless. Great breakfast including salmon fishcakes for non meat eaters. I had English with real cumberland sausage, the breakfast put many 5 star hotels too shame. Great touches in the bedroom, towelling robes! Cheaper than a Travel Lodge and ten times better. more
